Hello from MWAGA 2015

Jeff Linton traveled to Guatemala this past October 17-26 on a humanitarian mission with seven other prosthetic clinicians (ROMP) and five physical therapists from Chicago and other parts of the US to provide free prosthetic care to amputees in Guatemala who have little access to this care (Hearts in Motion). This group of prosthetic clinicians and physical therapists fitted 29 Guatemalan amputees with new prosthetic limbs. MWAGA will have a new amputee golfer joining us this year. Brad Schubert, a young man who lives in McHenry, IL reached out to us last summer and asked about riding along as an observer on the Sunday round of our 2014 tournament. Shortly after joining us for the ride-along, Brad had an elective below knee amputation of his right leg. It did not take him long to get back to work, even without a prosthesis. Brad was up and walking on two legs again by Thanksgiving of last year! We are looking forward to having Brad join us for some golf at our 2015 golf event in St Charles, IL. All the best in 2015!
